From: John Pittman <jpittman@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7ff684a683d777c4956fce93e60accbab2bd7696 ] At module load, if the selected home_node value is greater than the available numa nodes, the system will crash in __alloc_pages_nodemask() due to a bad paging request. Prevent this user error crash by detecting the bad value, logging an error, and setting g_home_node back to the default of NUMA_NO_NODE.
